Ok ladies, here's the best margarita recipe! My neighbor made it at her Pampered Chef party last spring. It was so good!! I made it for a BBQ last summer and everyone loved it! It makes a lot...so is great for a big crowd. I also used Squirt since I don't care for Fresca.

1 - 12oz. can beer
1 - 12 oz. can frozen limeade (or 2- 6 oz.)
12 oz. Fresca OR Squirt
12 oz. Tequilla
Serve over crushed ice
